Raising his voice a little higher he then sang, "I Love to Steal." At length.after a desperate cough, he make a final demonstration, and roared out, "I Love to Steal."! The effort was too much, every one but the parson was laughing.

The finance committee reported $4,000 had "been paid upon the note held by the Bank of Montreal. Tho Council adjourned , until November 25r -:1%- ������ PRINCETON NEWS W. B. Durnberg, manager of the Treasure Mountain mine, came down from Tulameen and Summit camp, or Leadville, as it has been rechristened, and left yesterday for SpokaDe, headquarters of his company. He has been very busy getting winter supplies packed to his camp many which are required. Some very fine samples of galena ore, as saving $200 per ton, have been shown, making the prospects of this country extremely bright. The Treasure Mountain people are deserving of every success, and no doubt it will come to them for the energy and courage they have shown in developing to the present stage. In the tunnel now being driven ore will be tapped at depth aud the body explored as to extent. If Treasure Mountain does not prove to be a high class mine it will be a disappointment to many well known mining men of repute who have visited the property out of pure curiosity, and others who have investigated its tonnage possibilities in behalf of railroad companies. The Princeton Coal & Land Co. still require miners and machine men, and the demand for coal is brisk. The development and exploratory work of the B. C. Copper Co., at Voight camp and Copper Mountain, reveals enormous ore bodies. As data is collected from diamond drill, tunnel and cut, the confidence of all concerned is increased. By those who have seen the great mines in British Columbia, including the latest at Hidden Creek, Voight Camp is pointed to as the greatest of them all. The quality and body of ore surprise experts and give rise to expression of amazement from those acquainted with mining. Six diamond drills and a large force of men are unlocking the treasure vaults as fast as skill and money can do it. The extension of the V. V. E. railway, already surveyed to Ashnola, eight miles from Princeton, will give the necessary transportation, then a favorable location to accomodate both Voigt Camp, and surrounding country.���������Star.

Augustues Heinze is still negotiating with the provincial government for the sale of his undivided interest in the Columbia & Western railway grant. An undivided half interest in the land has been bought by the governmen from the C.P.R. at forty cents per acre. Mr. Heinze desires to sell and the government is inclining to buy. The desire to sell on the part of the copper magnate is supposed to be brought about by the fact that the period of tax exemption of his land has expired. He is therefore liable not only to a tax of about $6,000 per. annum for the future, but also to about $60,000 back taxes. Tax exemption on wild land in British Columbia is something of a joke, as Mr. Heinze has discovered. You can get your exemption for a number of years, but when this has expired you become liable for ten years back taxes in a lump sum. It is under this clause of the law that Mr. Heinze owes the province about $60,000, being four per cent, per annum for ten years on about 300,000 acres, valued at fifty cents per acre.

The hen that cackles the loudest does not always lay the biggest egg- In these modern days a man is often judged by the size of his buzz wagon. It is 2,000 years since Christ died, and the world is still full of sinners. In these days of cushion seats lets ns not forget the men who blazed the trails. About all that Canada really lacks now is tho discovery of a real big field of petroleum. Some people havo fallen into mud because they got off the water wagon to pick up the whip. TnE United States has only had two first-class presidents. They were Tom Jefferson and Abe Lincoln. Even the ancients knew something about advertising, for we read in the Bible that the place to put your light is on tho top of a mountain, and not under a bushel. The mountain is Greenwood's leading excitement. Thinking Themes We are apt to call any narrow, ignorant outburst of conscience good. Speaking of some religious crank, or some little soul that has beeu swept away by the mob-rush to some new fad, or some vicious perverted life that flourishes one little moral excellence, we say that such a one is good. The grafter who is kind to tho poor, the bood- ler who keeps his promises, the burglar who does not use tobacco, the hard-hearted, pig-headed, close- fisted old skin-flint who never indulges in profane languages, we think they ought to have a good mark. There is nothing more deceptive than a little fragment of morality which an otherwise* immoral soul borrows like peacock feather to strut with. Real goodnesa, that which ia of any mortal account to one's self or to others is the product of the sum total of all one is, does, says and thinks. It is tho- flavor of the man, his entire personality. Goodness is tho fruit of life, not something to be picked up and worn on the coat. "Great moral energy," says Herbart, "is the result of bruad views, and of whole unbroken masses of thought."���������Frank Crane. Tenderfoot's Luck It seems as if in the majority of cases in Colorado it is the "tenderfoot" who makes the discovery of big gold mines, says the Engineering and Mining Journal. In the early days of Cripple Creek a man came down from the mines to Colorado Springs, and the meeting him in the street, said: "Well, how are things up at the Creek?" "Oh," said the miner, "the miners are looking for tho gold where it ought to be, and the tenderfeet are findiug it where it is." In Ouray two tenderfeet went to the top of a sheer cliff of sandstone, just north of town, and, tying a rope to a quacking aep sapling, one lowered tho other about thirty feet down the face so that he could crawl into a hole which they had seen from the valley below. The floor of the cave was covered with a foot of red dirt, which assayed ten ounces of gold per ton,'and this was the discovery of tho American Nettle, since credited with an output of more than $2,000,000. Stratton was not exactly a tenderfoot, but he was a carpenter and not in any sense a miner and prospected in the summer, took for assay some common red granite that he found sticking up like a vein. And when his first car load of Indepeudance granite rolled into the yards of the Boston and Colorado Smelting Company the manager laughed exceedingly, but it sampled three ounces of gold tojthe ton and has produced more than ten millions. The Camp Bird was staked by a greenhorn just out from the Royal School of Mines, of London, the firBt vein he had ever seen except in books, and it has produced more than $20,000,000. Another great gold mine in tbe State which will bo nameless so as not to hurt any one's feelings and which has paid many millions in dividends, was discovered by a plumber, and some time later when he had become wealthy and had learned to wear a clawhammer and a boiled shirt, and mix with the "quality," he was dining out, and the host said to a friend next him, "See that man down the table? Well, not more than three years ago he was doing a job of plumbing in my cellar, and he got into the wine bin and drank up a lot of my finest brand of champagne." But it is not always thus with the tenderfoot, for it is recorded of the Osceola at Ophir that one of them refused to stake an outcrop, which Ottawa.���������Not as much is heard of or is known of the , Agricultural Department at Ottawa as should bo. After all is said and done it is ono of the most important branches of the government, for agriculture is one of Canada's basic industry and thoprogress and prosterifcy of tho Dominion depends upon tho progress and prosperity 'of tho farmer. Hon. Martin Burrcll, the Minister of Agriculture, is a poor advertiser. Ho is a modest man, to modest some say for a politician. JJHe works night and day, and talks little. Since ho camo into ollico he has worked many reforms looking towards the advancement of agricul- iure. He has initiated many schemes for the betterment of the farming industry. He found a department which was in a rut. There was no other department at Ottawa where tho whole service was so plainly marking time. The agriculture department has many * experts, yet initiative- was discouraged and dry-rot seemed to have set in. Mr. Burrell has wakened up the department, he has infused a new spirit in every branch of the service and has succeeded in . inculcating his own energy and enterprise into the department. Hon. Sidney Fisher, the former minister, had a paternal way of taking every stray department under his wing. The result was that the department was loaded up with work which had nothing in the world to do with agriculture. Census and statistics camo under the administration of tho Minister of Agriculture; copyrights and patents, the achives, public health, and a half dozen other branches were stowed in this department. Tho first thing Mr. Burrell did was to re-arrango theso services. The census and statistics branch was transferred-to tho department of Trade and Commerce, where it more properly belonged. The archives branch naturally fits in with the Secretary of State, and it was transferred to this department. Patents ancl copyrights will likely be transferred this session to tho department of State, and the public health branch will also likely be taken from the department of Agriculture. . The most important question Mr. Burrell undertook on assuming office was to formulate a general policy for the betterment of agricultural conditions in Canada. It was felt, however, that nothing in this direction could proporly be done until a general survey of the agricultural conditions in Canada had been made. It was therefore decided to give immediate assistance to agriculture by voting the sum of $500,000 to this cause by way of grant to tho provincial governments on a population basis. Such grant to be expended for the cause of agriculture according to a plan approved by the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa. page after page of. warmed-over platitudes, unctuous, with the oil of pationage. We listen open mouthed to stories of real estate sales whore thev profit almost reached fabulous percentages. We look even reverently on the vulgar pile of brick and stono which some financial marvel has erected under tho impression that it is a "homo." Magazines print portraits of millionaires by tho twelfth of a gross. We get life^ stories of successful men, column after column. Is it any wonder that tho great majority of our young people begin to believe that the ability to own a six cylinder car or to wear diamond buckles on their suspenders is the stamp of true nobility? "Canada is an expanding conn- try. Opportunities for wealth getting aro plentiful. Any man with a modicum of business souso and with decent treatment can do well, can live in peace and plenty, and can acquire on6ugh]to assure him against penury in declining years. Hundreds of^men with the genius for money making will pile up good fortunes. But money is not Jthe end of living. Neither is it necessary for our peace of mind that we should have everything that the heart desires. The child with the most toys is the least contented. And in this case above all others the child is father of the man. "Men and women are forever wanting. A new car or a new house, a uew horse, or a new franchise, a new set of furs, or a new hat, and in the United States particularly a new husband or a new wife. And when the want is gratified the happiness it bringsismoru- entary and 3elfish. "Uuquestionably it is true that rich people are becoming more plentiful than ladies and gentlemen. Vulgar individuals decorated with precious stones sail down our city streets or crowd our drawing rooms. And our eyes aro so dazzled that we overlook their defects as men and women, and yearn to go and do likewise. The country is full of people who are cultivating a cham- page taste on a beer salary. Their determination to get rich overrides all morality, all reason���������and there are consequences, olten rude and terrible."���������Saskatoon Star. stretches, and to this and that remote part of British Columbia���������I have been to a good many out-of- the-way places myself���������I have yet to hear anything but praise for the men who follow the trails of the west and north. Fine, manly fellows, all of them, every bit of conceit knocked out of them, gentlemen through and through. Beside them what a silly, vain puppet the super-civilized Frenchman appears, likewise tho insular Englishman trembling with the terror of being "cotched." Tho man of the northerly west will go to any amount of trouble for a woman and think it a pleasure. As for tipping a_ man who does ono a service no matter how strenuous, I should as soon think of offering a tip to Earl Groy. Tho man who does many things to make your journey comfortable may be a millionaire mine owner, a bartender, a government agent, a stage- driver, a trapper, a medical missionary, or a prospector���������there's very little difference in tho outward make-up, and most of the time you haven't any idea who he is.

If he is labelled "eligible," he is a sort of holy being, sot apart, spoken of in whispers. Never for one moment does he forget his eligibility.

The Clock I liked to watch the good old clock that hung .upon the wall; I really think a man might walk from Cleveland to St. Paul, and not behind a smoother piece of skillful craftman ship; the wheels went round as slick as grease and never made a slip. I dearly loved for hours to stand and watch the pendulum; and note the active minute band and hear the ily wheel hum. I liked to hear the blamed thing strike���������but on one fateful day the boss remarked: "You'd better hike���������you are not worth your hay. You're paid to help to sell my stock and do some other chores, but all the day you watch the clock, so chase yourself outdoors." And then he pushed me with his feet and fanned me with a chair, and when I landed in the street my boots were in the air. Oh! clocks are fascinating things, and they have lovely works, and pendulums and bands and springs, but they are bad for clerks, who yield to their seductive charm and watch the hands go round, and listen to the loud alarm and hear the striker pound.���������Walt Mason.

Much Natural Gas Edmonton. - James Brodie, city gas engineer of Edmonton, reports that millions of natural gas is going to waste at Pelican Portage, 170 miles northwest of Edmonton, where he has completed an investigation for the municipality. One of the wells, sunk to depth of G25 feet by the Dominion government in 1897, is pouring out 4,000,000 feet a, day. Twelve drillers aro at work in the district under the direction of Harry WilliamB a gas expert. They are sinking wells for oil with every indication of success. The government well, upon which work was started on July G, 1897,* began to flow the following October. There were no means available at that time to use the product. The government appropriated $7,000 three years ago, to cap the well. The plan was to line the well with concrete. Before the work was completed, however, the pressure ripped out the lining and the well was abandoned. Politeness She was one of those 2001b. ladies. She was passing by a provision store when she trod on a banana peel and sat gently in a box of eggs. She arose very promptly. "I hope I have not broken them," she said. "Not at all ma'am;" replied the polite storekeeper, "they are only bent." The laborer who wears out all his powers in the machinery of life's work and takes no part in its thought and imagination, aud the thinker who woars out his brain before its time and has no part in the practical activity of life, have each lost much of tho pleasure that rightly belongs to them. They may not be conscious of it, but it is none the less true that the health, happiness and real effectiveness of every man can be gained only by tbe harmonious union of labor and thought.

"There played the children, the little ragged girls of 5 and 6 holding the bambino done up In swaddling clothes, tossing It between- them as they would toss an .overgrown doll, and the boys more ragged yet, It that were possible. There were the dogs, cats, the chickens, and now and then a proud ��������� turkey, Ignomlnlously tied, far from barnyards and Its kind, by a string to a post ' "I didn't know which I pitted most, the bablea in training for cripples swaddled so, their tiny limbs .so unnaturally bound, the unwashed cats and dogs, or the turkeys In chains.

The driver flung a .bright look at me. ���������"Do you see that man?' he asked. "���������Yes,' I answered. ���������"Well, he's my brother,' gloated ho. He eeemed to have an oversupply of brothers, but he endeavored to compensate ��������� for bringing me out of my way for five lire by showing me the sights. "He pointed out all the pictures of the salnta by the roadside, the crucifixes on the walle, the Holy.Virgins at' the corners of the lead-colored houses, until at last the wide sweep of level country where the dust and ashes of the burled city were began to show: "Arrived there, a babbling guide hurried me through with the velocity of a whirlwind, showed mo broken columns, old fountains, Madusa heads with th������ faces worn away by hands long since ashes, the burled dog, Its mouth In the attitude of barking, prints of chariot wheels, gray walls through the apertures of which the smoky peak of the mountain that had done all the harm glowed purple, and hurried me out again through the gate to my cab. "My cabby stood there smiling, a man beside him who was even handsomer than he. *"My brother,' said ho. "I smiled and bowed, and we started over the long gray road of the poor to Naples. "The sight saddened me. I wished I had started for America, for home! As we bumped over the terrible slags of the NapleB streets my resentment grew. It was not lessened by the behavior of my guide. Three times more he had pointed out brothers. Now he leaned over to me, smiled, and pointed out another, before wa drove up to my door.

"This Is the fifth marriage settlement I have had the honour of drawing up for your family, Sir Thomas, and you will excuse me, I hope, expressing my curiosity respecting one peculiarity common to them all." "I think" Interpolated tho baronet, "I can anticipate what you are going to say, Cheevers. "Xou are. puzzled to explain why there is a- uniform dowry of ������8,000 settled upon my daughters from the date of their marriage, es- "pfiiaily when you are aware.that a similar sum was settled upon my sisters when they 'married." "Precisely, Sir Thomas. To speak openly, I wondered'why the sum waB not fixed at ������6,000 or ������10,000." "T comprehend your meaning fully. You might be a.long time searching for'a solution of the problem,and fall to solve It in the end. It is, however, an interesting story. "My eldest sister, Ita, was a charming girl, Idolised by our parents, the most popular of the young county people of her age, and beloved by the common people. Up to the time Immediately preceding the public announcement of her engagement she was regarded as heart-free, and unattached to any of the many eligible admirers with whom she was acquainted. One evening, after dinner, Mr. Strewton, a neighbour of ours, called to know if I could play In a cricket match that was being arranged with a team from the metropolis. Subsequently he asked If my father was alone in the library, as he wished to speak with him. I brought him down to the dear old man, and left the pair of them together, never dreaming of the surprise that Interview had In store for us all. About a week later we were apprised that Ita had given her heart to Strewton. That herself and her lover had always entertained mutual affection for each other, though Strewton had made no avowal until his bachelor uncle had spoken to him of the desirability of marrying and avoiding'the premature ageing and loss of real live Interest in life which Is the fate, of the overwhelming majority of old bachelors. Strewton avowed his desire to marry my sister but explained that he never felt at liberty to disclose his heart's dearest wish to her, because he recognized that he was dependent upon his .uncle's generosity for the wherewithal to set up an establishment of his own. Contrary to the code of the romance writer, Strewton's uncle approved his nephew's action and choice, and guaranteed a generous settlement if the marriage could be arranged to the satisfaction of all parties. "It was after this Interview Strewton ascertained that my sister reciprocated his affection and, later, secured audience of the pater. I well remember my father approving of Strewton's manly, straightforward way of urging his suit. 'By George,' he used to say, 'I shall never forget the earnestness with which eulogising Ita, young Strewton averred that she was 'worth her weight in gold,' or the happy thought that prompted me to say, 'that she Is; and her own weight In gold will be her wedding dowry.' "Of course, Cheevers, you remember that my father was Director of a Bank at that period . What do you think he did? One day he brought Ita Into the Bank and, in the presence of two other members of the Board, conducted her to the strong room where she was put sitting into a beam and scales constructed on the principle of those commonly seen at the town market-houses throughout the country. When she was comfortably fixed, one of the porters of the establishment was directed to shovel sovereigns into the opposite scale until the gold placed thore equalled the weight of the lady on the other side. When the coins were subsequently counted the amount was found to be ������8,000, representing, aa well as I remember, my sister's weight to be about ten stones. That was the origin of the ������8,000 dot In our family."

MINING NEWS | OCK*-0<>aaOOO<K>CK>CKXK><><>00<><K><> The Shaake Machine works, New ���������Westminster, have receiAed an order for tho construction of a Koch ford dredge to be used iu gold ���������dredging operations on fche Frazer river near Hope. It was ordered by Mr. A.E. Hansford'of Seattle, an old gold minor from Alaska. The dredge will cost about $30,000 and will bo ready by the first of 1013. When completed it will be towed up the river as far as possible by a tugboat and will be taken tho rest of tho way by the use of winches and hawsers attached to trees on the river hank. Tho deputy mining recorder at Hope has issued the licenco for the operations. It covers five miles of the river immediately above Hope. The remainder of fche river between Hope and Yale has already boon taken up by similar leases. Tho Iirst gold mining in British Columbia���������except the very early operations of the Spaniards on the west coast of Vancouver Island- was oh the bars of tho Fraser from Hope to Yale, Union Bar, American, Emory, Texas, Boston and Hills, the richest of them all. aSTo one knows how much gold was recovered from 1857 to 1SG2 from tho then deep deposits. But the treasure was not inexhaustible; the returns began to diminish aud the creeks of far Cariboo were calling imperiously to fche ��������� cosmopolitan army of gold-seekers who had built up Hope, Yale and Emory City. Had the bars been left untouched for the half century thafe has passed since 'G2 they would no doubt be now very rich. The amount of gold brought clown by the waters of the Fraser year by year is probably almost constant, and while fche deposit on any one bar for one year will not repay very much labor, tho accumulated deposits of a long period of years are of great value. Gold washing ab the bars has never ceased.- The patient Chinese who are well pleased with a few dollars a day havo repaired to fche Fraser year after year. Many dredging schemes have been floated and some have achieved temporary success but fche current of the Fraser is strong and treacherous and to fche present every attempt has ended finally in failure. Possibly those who are now about to try again have studied tho experiences of others and have equipment better adapted to the conditions. ���������West Yale Beview. A. Erskino Smith, managing director of the Red Cliff Mining Co., has been in Stewart tho best part of fche week. He .eporfcs that J. L. Parker, a mining man of well known ability, is at the company's property making an exhaustive examination as to value, quantity of ore blocked oufc, etc. Mr. Parker is employed by the Red Cliff Mining Co. aud his professional report will no doubt bo placed .before a meeting of the company, to be held in Vancouver Nov. 14th. With this knowledge and detail at hand the company will be in a position to determine what course to take. Thore has been talk of a smelter being built on the canal. This, and tho consideration of other oufc- sido capital offering, will probably be discussed at the meeting. J. M. Turnbull, tho representative of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. of Canada, is in company with Mr. Parker while that gentleman is proceeding with his examination. Tho fact that men of such standing in tho mining world are in the district is in itself a very gratifying fact.���������Stewart Minor. News was brought down on last evening's train by Fire Warden G. A. Kerr, whoso headquarters are at Kitselas, that great excitement reigns afc that place over tho rich finds of free milling ore that have recently been discovered. That it is the real thing and is tremendously rich is established beyond doubt. Assays made recently have run as high as ������700 to the ton, and quantities of it are to be found within a short distance of fche railroad. The recent strike made at Kit- sumkalum Lake in this district, and the present find are attracting much interest in mining circles to the gold-bearing quartz of that section of the interior where gold is known to exist and which was worked some years ago. So far no great amount of work has been done, and will not be probably, until the spring, on account of the snow and difficulty of getting supplies, material, etc., on the ground, for fche early stages of development work. Quite a rush has been going on to the vicinity and a number of claims staked and despite the obstacles to be contended with stated above, one company thinks with the railroad facilities at hand, they may be able to make a trial shipment. The coming spring will see a great development iu quartz mining in this promising district, as for some years experienced prospectors havo been going over the ground, and mineral in paying quantities has been known to exist. Theso men have only been waiting for tho railroad through the country to be completed, to enable them to open up their mines and obtain the commercial returns from the known mineral wealth of this rich section of the province in the shape of the much to be desired dollars and cents.��������� Prince Rupert News. Mafe Trewhella made a shipment of twenty-five tons of oxidized oro from the Phoenix this week.' Ifc was taken from a vein'ten feet from the one from which he has made the previous shipments. He believes that both are veins from the same ledge and that they will uuite at depth into one largo ledge. Tho oxidized seam carries from ten inches to a foot of ore that seems to bo of a high grade. Mr.. Trewhella did not care to hazard a guess as to tho value of tho shipment, but said that lie believed that the ore will run high. When it is considered that Mr. Trewhella had no capital beyond his energy and his capacity for work when lie took hold of tho Phoenix under a loase, he had done remarkably well, as, besides making a profit, he has demonstrated that tho Phoenix will, with a not very great expenditure, make a mine. Recently the owners were offered a considerable sum for the mine, but refused it, and said that it was not for sale.���������Rossland Miner. .f-SS^-S^-fSts-M^S^ c Y DEALER IN DRY GOODS, GROCERIES 2������ JC BOOTS AND SHOES, X HARDWARE, ETC.

What promises to be the,largest deposit of hematite iron ore that has yet been discovered, and possibly one of the largest in North America, has' been located by Messrs William McNair and Peter Kenyon, of Vancouver and Bella Coola, respectively. According to their calculations, there are at least 20,000,000 tons of hematite ore in sight. This vast deposit occupies a most favorable position and oan be transported to tidewater afc Bella Coola over very easy and favorable grades.���������Bella Coola Courier. The directors of the British Pacific Coal company who visited their property on Graham island a short time ago were enthusiastic over the outcroppings aud showing of coal in the 700 foot tunnel, as represented in the seven seams exposed, says the Vancouver World. Mr. Fanlds, the engineer in charge, declared that the property was one of the best coal properties in Canada and that the coal itself, being anthracite of the first quality, rivalled the superior products of tho anthracite coal mines in Pennsylvania or the famous Welch collieries. The directors visited the bunk- houses, mess house and office of the company, which aro conveniently situated to the works, and also inspected the tramway from the mine's mouth to tbe 700 foot pier which extends far out into the inlet in order that fche deepest craft may load at low tide. All of tho help, as jvell as miners and surface men, are white, no orientals or foreigners being employed. The directors heartly endorse fche report on both the British Pacific and Standard properties as given out by Mr. Faulds, and they believe the enormous resources of Graham Island will, when properly opened up, awake the eyes of the world. FRUIT PACKING SCHOOLS A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder Dr. Wm. Sedgwick Saunders, Medical. Officer of Health of the city of London, Eng., was good enough to say that a long and universal experience has proved a cream of tartar powder the most efficient, safe and economical, making food which could not be deleterious to the most delicate stomach. In England the sale of baking powder containing alum is absolutely prohibited. WHEN BUYING BAKING POWDER, READ THE LABEL. The Department of Agriculture, in accordance with its policy of the past three years, will continue the fruit packing schools during the coming winter. The packing schools proved even moro popular in 1912 than previously and wo expect, from tho number of applications already in, that there will be a great growth in the work fchis winter. Ifc is hoped that this year eohools will be placed in every fruit district of thu province, where a sufficient number of pupils can Department, in previous years has demonstrated its efficiency in meeting the competition of Oregon and Washington in fruit packing. The experience and standing of the instructors scoured and the confidence reposed in them by the Department, guaranteed to the highest class of instruction. As in previous years the local administration of the packing schools will lie placed in tho hands of a responsible local body, such as the Farmers' Institute, the Fruit Growers' Association, or the Board of Trade. The Department of Agriculture provides the instructor and pays his expenses. The department will also bear the cost of tho -packing paper, the fruit and all other legitimate expenses, except that of the Secretarial work, which it has been found most satisfactory to leave to local arrangement. The responsible organization in each case will be required to guarantee a minimum of twelve pupils,- but not more than fifteen,- with the proper qualifications, at a fee of three dollars each, to take the twelve lessons of two and a half hours a lesson, the school extending over one week. In a limited number of districts a double packing school can be arranged for, in which the minimum guarantee will be twenty-four pupils, but not more than thirty, for the same number of lessons. The guaranteeing o r- ganization willalso arrange for and bear fche expense of fche hall, its heating and lightning. The hall for fifteen pupils must be at least thirty feet by fifteen feet, and well lighted. It must be heated sufficiently to prevent chilling of fingers of the packers, ancl to prevent freezing of the fruit at night. The department will as far as possible, use local fruit. At the time of making application for the packing school, you aro requested to reserve fruit at tho rate of 2i to .3 boxes per pupil. The hardier varieties, such as Ben Davis, are preferred. Fruifc must be in good condition, but need nofc be graded and none should run uuder 2} inches in diameter. The Department will pay the legitimate market price for this fruit. If local fruit can be secured, the Department should be expressly notified and will undertake to secure same. The instructor will -bring with him the necessary packing tables and fruit paper. Tho Department expects that he will be met on his arrival by some responsible person, who should provide him with all necessary information, so as to get the school under way without loss of time. Ifc seems hardly necessary to present to yon the important ad vantages to be gained from the packing schools, particularly in the way of practical and thorough instruction and thorough instruction in actual commercial packing. Pupils will learn in addition, a good deal about the methods and equipment used by the moBfc progressive Associations, will also learn a good deal of tho interpretation of the Fruit Marks Act, and will learn a great deal of value about exhibition packing by attending the packing school for instruction. Pupils who gain a score of seven- OD YDU WANT TO AVOID SERIOUS GOLDS ? Mathieu's Syrup of Tar and Cod Liver Oil makes the system practically cold proof.

Tho class of instruction furnished I ty-iivo por cent, for efficiency in the by tho oxports, employed by tho packing school, and who put up a Terrible as it is to be Blain in battle, there is ono thing the soldier fears worse, declares a veteran. That is to miss the honor in taking part in a great battle, and to die ingloriously at homo, when his country needs him. An artilleryman from Michigan brought this out during the Civil War. The man had only just gone to the front, and had seen no real fighting. One day while on the march he fell and was run over by the gun carriage. He was so badly crushed that, sorely against his will, he had to be furloughed and sent home. While he lay in bed under the doctors care the battle of Gettysburg was fought. The man feared he would die, and keenly regretted that, since he must go, it could not have been on that glorious field. He called upon the doctor to hear his last request. "Doctor, if I go, promise me this: that my stone shall bear these words: 'Killed at Gettysburg, in the front of battle.'" "But you weren't," objected the physician. "I know. But it wasn't my fault. If you can't say that, then say, Killed at Gettysburg���������during a temporary absence at Brookfield, Michigan.'
